广西大厂锡矿区职工外周血淋巴细胞姐妹染色单体交换(SCE)频率、染色体畸变率和微核率的观察

本文分析了38例大厂矿井下矿工、40例井上工作人员和27例非矿区正常人的外周血淋巴细胞SCE频率、染色体畸变率和微核率差异情况,发现井下矿工的SCE频率和染色体畸变率显著高于井上工作人员及非矿区正常人,微核率的差异无显著意义(P>0.05)。结合矿区肺癌流行病学调查结果对比分析,认为井下矿工长期接触的生产性粉尘中可能存在一些致癌物质,导致机体细胞遗传物质受到一定程度损伤。

Sister chromatid exchanges(SCE), chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei of cultured peripheral lymphocytes in miners, nonmining workers of Dachang Tin Mine in Guangxi

Determination of SCE frequency, chromosomal aberration and micronucleus rate of cultured peripheral lymphocytes of 38 miners who worked in the well, and 40 non-miners who worked outside the well in Dachang Area and 27 other workers who didn't work and live there (as control group) was carried out. The result showed that the miners had higher SCE incidence and chromosomal aberration rate. The nonmining workers and the control group had much lower rates. There was a significant difference between the miners and non-miners or control group, but no statistically differences were found between the non-miners and the control group. Micronucleus rate among the miners, the non-miners and the control group were all the same level statistically. We proposed that some toxic substances in the Dachang Tin Mine might be respousible for the genetic damages in the miners. We suggested that a combined assay of SCE with chromosomal aberration or micronucleus might be a good screening method for the high risk population such as the miners in Dachang Tin Mine.
